Introducing Engadget Poland!

Whoa, hard to believe its been three years since the last internationalized version of Engadget launched, but we're back and have a number of new sites in the pipeline -- kicking off with Engadget in Polish!

Why Polish, you ask? Well, besides the fact that we had some amazing talent waiting in the wings to blow it out, it's also a smaller (dare we say underserved?) market to soft-launch in that allows us to work out the kinks as we prepare to do even more international versions of Engadget in the coming weeks and months.

So if Polish isn't your bag, just hang tight, you'll be seeing even more localized Engadgets soon enough. And if it is, head on over and welcome our Polish team to the fold!

*shakes fist at evan*

[chlitto @ May 30th 2008 2:49PM]

np:)

[marcin @ May 30th 2008 2:35PM]

Thanks!

[Anonymoose @ May 30th 2008 2:35PM]

that's going to be one big sausage party

[ttl @ May 30th 2008 2:36PM]

Osz w kurwę, nie spodziewałem się tego ;o

[Anonymoose @ May 30th 2008 2:42PM]

może jasne słońce na swojej fal delfinów zawsze z miłością gęsi

[chlitto @ May 30th 2008 2:54PM]

też nie:)

[Tim @ May 30th 2008 4:02PM]

TTL said: to whore osz, i did not expect it

Anonymoose said: Bright (plain) sun can on waves of dolphins with love always goose

Chilitto said: too not

hmm... I am thinking bablefish needs to add a polish translation because the one i found on google seems to be confused...

[chlitto @ May 30th 2008 4:26PM]

@Tim: Anonymoose took too much lsd and google translator is right:)

"Anonymoose: maybe the bright sun on its wave of dolphins forever with love goose"

ps

Osz w kurwę = 'lol fuck' (slang?)

też nie = 'me too not' (in response to "i did not expect it")

[Slawek @ May 30th 2008 5:03PM]

Polska gora! Swietnie!

[Vidit Bhargava @ May 30th 2008 2:37PM]

congrats engadget...when launching in india???

[CUBSWILLWIN @ May 30th 2008 4:05PM]

exactly what I was gonna say! I'm born in America but with Indian parents, so I speak hindi a lot. I don't read it though, so it'd be nicer if there was an english letter version.

[Anonymoose @ May 30th 2008 4:24PM]

and english letter version? you mean...uhh...kind of like the one we're reading right now?

[CUBSWILLWIN @ May 30th 2008 9:47PM]

It's like this:
The spanish version is in spanish, right? But it's using english letters. Kinda like that. It's ok though if you don't get it becuase, people are mostly using the way I'm talking about now and days, so engadget will probably come with the same.

[JT_X @ Jun 1st 2008 9:36PM]

I think you mean Roman letters. There are no "English" letters.

[Claudio @ May 30th 2008 2:39PM]

My first thought was that this would be a gag about gadgets with qualities found in polish/blond jokes.

Engadget po Polsku jest lepiej.

(my polish is rusty at best)

[Thi mam(kris120890) @ May 30th 2008 2:40PM]

Whats involved in these new sites. does it mean its just done in the polish language because i like engadget as it is with news from aroun the world.

[Don @ May 30th 2008 2:46PM]

my dziadzio will be so happy. He can read about gadgets from afar....if he ever gets done playing solitar

[foxdude0486 @ May 30th 2008 2:46PM]

Sweet! I'm 100% Polish! :D My parents didn't teach me it though! :(

[Anonymoose @ May 30th 2008 2:51PM]

they must have been too ashamed.

Twoi rodzice czują wstydu z tysięcy miniaturowych mężczyzn jedzenie sera sos wiatru twarz

[Slawek @ May 30th 2008 5:01PM]

"Twoi rodzice czują wstydu z tysięcy miniaturowych mężczyzn jedzenie sera sos wiatru twarz"

Translation: Your parents feel ashamed that thousands of small men eat cheese sause wind face.

^^ wtf?

Whatever he means... He's right about your parents being ashamed.. shame on them!

[pauldacheez @ May 30th 2008 2:50PM]

No kurde mol, to jest dobry pomysl. (Damn accents...)

[rTwelve [xbl:chilblane] @ May 30th 2008 2:50PM]

Good, now no one can say "You forgot Poland"

[gijs @ May 30th 2008 2:50PM]

Tak TAk Tak !! (means yes yes yes-- , I think..)

[Jakob Henner @ May 30th 2008 2:59PM]

In Danish and Norwegian it means thanks, thanks, thanks. But you're welcome ;)

[teej @ May 30th 2008 5:25PM]

in polish, tak does mean yes. not sure if that's how you spell it, but that's all i know from my mom and her 5 polish sisters.

[Andrew @ May 31st 2008 8:41AM]

Sorry, Jakob, but tak is only correct for Danish as we say "takk" in Norway.

[X-BLADE @ May 30th 2008 2:52PM]

I want to see Engadget Arabic please!

[silverblackvoid @ May 30th 2008 2:54PM]

Mazurek Dąbrowskiego!!!

[Anonymoose @ May 30th 2008 2:55PM]

OMG, THIS IS SO PROFANE, DELETE THIS POST IMMEDIATELY!!!

[silverblackvoid @ May 30th 2008 4:26PM]

relax man. this is just the polish national anthem. there's no profanity in here. im half polish.

[Rick @ May 30th 2008 2:54PM]

I looked at the website. it's Greek to me.

[marcinjanik @ May 30th 2008 3:16PM]

What??
Can I help, I speek EN/PL/NL ...
...and I'm addicted to engadget !!!
No właśnie czas najwyższy !!!

[marcinjanik @ May 30th 2008 3:16PM]

http://engadget.pl/ lol

[Janek @ May 30th 2008 2:58PM]

Hi there, I translate for the Polish website. It is all translated content for the moment, but hang on and you might soon hear about some cool old-school gadgets from the Soviet times!

[igb @ May 30th 2008 3:00PM]

What's the point of localized versions anyway? Translated, I understand but who wants to get less AND less trendy news AND with less tacky headlines??

(Shame on you, Spanish engadget)

[DarkLight @ May 30th 2008 3:12PM]

I second the "shame on spanish engadget"... You get the same news alot later, and they got no sense of humor... And pretty much no one is there, comments are empty

You should make engadget Mexico... With mexican editors you're guaranteed to get an active blog, alot of jokes and a shitload of profanities :-)

[Jose Andrade @ May 30th 2008 4:17PM]

Well, apparently you haven't been coming around to Engadget Spanish lately. We do translate the most important news that are relevant to our people, but also publish a bunch of original content.

Now regarding the content (and jokes), we have to be very careful about the language we use. Some jokes may be funny in Mexico and really obscene in Peru... just part of being a "localized - international" blog for different continents.

[eurobloke @ May 30th 2008 3:05PM]

Please, everyone, no plumber jokes.

[aaronbareford @ May 30th 2008 6:00PM]

Woah soon engadget will localised everywhere, then there will be engadget tv etc. :D

Good luck :D

[Chrisvanren @ May 30th 2008 5:33PM]

That is the last thing we need.

[srw985 @ May 30th 2008 3:13PM]

Can we have a UK site plz?
Depite it being the same language, theres alot of british stuff that dont get on here.

[eurobloke @ May 30th 2008 3:20PM]

One slight problem, the AOL UK is owned not by Time Warner Inc., but Carphone Warehouse.

[Andrew @ May 30th 2008 6:48PM]

Am I the only one that finds AOL in the UK a bit odd? I mean AMERICA OnLine in the UK? I can understand it in canada, mexico, even like Brazil and other south AMERICAN continents, but Eurasia?

Congrats on the new site, lets have some back-translated goodies too, like polish posts translated to english!

[Frun @ May 30th 2008 3:17PM]

jabłko iphone!

[nick @ May 30th 2008 3:18PM]

PLEASE ENGADGET IN GERMAN!!!! PLEEEAAASSSSEEEEEEEEEEEE

[ipewpewtoo @ May 30th 2008 3:22PM]

Thanks! My dad will love this site!

[Engadgetluvsappl @ May 30th 2008 3:25PM]

If it's "internationaliZed" as you say, atleast use a 'S' instead of a 'Z', you know, the correct spelling because it is called... English?

Yahhh trick yahhhhhhh!

[IT-Accountant @ May 30th 2008 3:25PM]

Congrats Engadget Poland!

moje najszczersze gratulacje!
